The mind of man plans his way, but the LORD directs his steps. (Prov 16:9) God will take care of His sheep.

I hope you realize I am in complete agreement.

I'm thinking along the lines of the role of the church (assembly of like minded believers). In this last election we have seen a large % of "Christians" support a candidate that embraces beliefs that are clearly not Biblical.

One of my OT heroes is Caleb. No matter how great the challenge, how old he was, or how few wanted to fight the enemy he was ready to go forward. I think we are at that point. A growing number of "Christians" embrace beliefs that are clearly in defiance of GOD and the question is how do we go forward.

It's difficult to reconcile Christian values with beliefs that are not Biblical. My pastor made a comment last Sunday that conservative Christians tend to vote for moral issues while liberal Christians tend to vote for social issues; but they were both Christians. My wife and I thought he was being a bit naive or trying to placate both sides. Christians must first reconcile the moral issues before they can address the social issues. A Christian cannot support abortion yet rally against a war. A Christian can (and should) be against abortion yet may be in support of a war. There is a subtle difference.

"Liberal" Christians are simply deceiving themselves or are not spiritually mature.
